Great Idea to not have another vote until JOHN MCCAIN gets to the rescue!!!
Where is the Republican's Alternative Bill. Just saying no without, an alternative bill on the table is not helpful. I guess we can go ahead and do our run on the banks.
Palin is only a small part of a growing Republican problem. Now, these Republicans are putting the entire country at risk, with this bailout vote disaster. They can’t even seem to realize the impact of not acting. This democratic congresses were trying to do the correct thing on the bailout, but these Republicans keep grandstanding for political reasons. If it weren’t for the republicans, we could have solved this by now. We need to vote the Republicans out of the office as soon as possible. Let Obama and the Democrats continue to do what they do best to make the country profitable. Old Joe Biden basically said it best when he took on both McCain and Palin, in his last speech. He did not get much press because of the bailout circus. Biden spoke to women issues, and on the economy. I think that is why so many women favor the Democratic Ticket. It is because of Joe Biden, and this Economy. Biden is not only ready for the debate; he is also ready for the Oval Office. I am fully persuaded that Obama and Biden, can turn this economy and country around. Someone tell McCain and Palin,”Thanks, but no Thanks.”
And McCain has already blamed Obama. Can someone tell me in this room, how is this Obama's fault?
These people in the House and Congress NEED TO GROW UP!
coward! go back to your home dumb republican. Your days are numbered!
Just imagine if social security was privatized just like republicans want. half the country would commit suicide!
I hope this sends a message to all the voters that its time to clean out Washington. Democrat or Republican they are all worthless and incompetent.
I'm sure glad McCain committed to ensuring the success of this bailout plan at the expense of the debate. Too bad he didn't stick to his word.
I wonder how the republicans are going to blame this boondoggle on the democrats. Honestly, how bad do the republcians have to screw this country up before we say enough?
Okay, so are they waiting for John McCain to re-suspend his campaign so that we can come back to Washington. This way he can bring Sarah Palin and she can try to cancel out of her debate with Biden.
Seriously people, do you think that Republicans have served our country well in the last 8 years? WE NEED CHANGE NOW!! Stop the politicing.
Obama / Biden '08
What a mess. It makes you really think. i am so confused. what does the country think..............
I fear that the failure of the bailout will indeed lead to a terrible recession if not another Great Depression. I didn't like the $700 billion bailout, but I do think it was needed to halt the decline of our economy.
I am really afraid right now.
We are surrounded by with bypartisan/finger pointing/imbeciles who can't even decide on the most important economic bill since the depression. Get rid of the Democratic Congress!!!!
McCain and the Republicans are digging themselves AND US a very deep hole.
McCain claimed he had his people on board HOWEVER
Democrates brought 141 YES to the table out of 235
Republicans brought only 65 YES to the table out of 198
It is clear who is to blame for the latest hit to everyone's personal finances, McCain/Bush/House Republicans
Republicans better not even try to spin this one. They have lost ALL credibility.
CNN 90 % of the populaiton DID NOT WANT THIS BAIL OUT ! So why are you giving the spin that thi s decision is a bad thing ! Shouldn't you grow up and realize that the Americans Grow may want to take the chance of letting the chips fall where they may ,
Boehner said that it was Pelosi's fault because she didn't give the republicans any credit for "saving" the legislation.
Gee, so I guess that means that their feelings were hurt and to spite her, they decided to screw the American people.
GREAT!
Good – all those Obama insiders need to find another way to save their butts.
CNN – you really need to enter the no-spin zone (not that O'rieily is always right). You twist everything in favor of the libs/Obama.
What is really going on with Congress! This is unbelievable!
I wonder it it is political...
Obama in '08!
The bill should be shelf until a new president is elected. The administration who put us in this mess can not be trusted to resolve the crisis. No more Republicans.
Obama/Biden will fix the economy and bring prosperity back to all Americans.
Obama/Biden 08/12.
So what now, Repubs? Pretty much everyone agrees that something needs to be done. Are you balking because your CEOs will lose their payoffs? My 401K is in the tank now, thanks to your willingness to block progress on a solution.
The Republicans are scurrying from the Bush administration like rats from a sinking ship. Just wait till the Asian markets nosedive overnight. HOLD ON!
This is all a result of deregulation and Senator John McCain...
Thank you republicans.....and some (very few) democrats. Please don't rush a vote on a bill that will spend my money. Lets get it right.
Pelosi had to go open her mouth and make this political; now the country knows her true colors!! Dems first; country second!!
